Summer is nearly here, and just in time, Apple’s AirPods 4 are down to $99 from $129, the lowest they’ve been all year. They briefly dipped lower for Black Friday 2025, so this isn’t an all-time best, but $99 is a strong number for Apple’s current standard earbuds and an easy entry point if you’ve been holding out.

If you absolutely hate earbuds with silicone tips, then you’ll love the fit of AirPods 4. When using them for long hours, these buds will be a lot more comfortable as you won’t have to deal with that in-ear pressure. The redesigned shape and shorter stem add to that, sitting more securely so they stay put during a walk or a quick jog.

The H2 chip inside these buds improves sound quality over previous models. The call clarity also holds up well thanks to voice isolation and trimming background noise. The chip will also make pairing the buds to your other devices so much easier. Even better, they also switch between an iPhone, iPad, or Mac on their own. And when you forget where they are, you can use the Find My app to track their location. Personalized Spatial Audio and head-nod Siri replies are nice extras you get when picking the AirPods 4.

The buds will keep you listening to your favorite songs for about five hours, although you’ll get about 30 hours with the case. At $99, the AirPods 4 are easy to recommend, especially since better deals are few and far between.
